Huntington Beach police declared an unlawful assembly in Downtown Huntington Beach, California, Sunday afternoon following a "White Lives Matter" rally that resulted in social unrest. Hundreds of people gathered in Downtown Huntington Beach for the event, but it appeared counter-protesters (representing Black Lives Matter) also showed up in numbers. Members of various factions clashed, and that was the time when police declared an unlawful assembly at the nearby 5th Street and Walnut Avenue intersection.
L.A. Daily News' Josh Cain documented some of the unrest this afternoon. He called it "total chaos" as "fights broke out" between protesters and counter-protesters.

Before the #HuntingtonBeach "White Lives Matter" rally was declared an unlawful assembly, there were fights between protesters and counter-protesters with at least 3 people detained that we saw. Unclear how many total were arrested/detained. @CBSLA
